Carrollwood Village Dog Park
Two huge grassy pens wrapped by a pond-side loop trail
About this park
Carrollwood Village Dog Park offers two very large, grassy fenced areas (one for small dogs, one for large) wrapped by a paved trail around a scenic pond where you can spot ducks, turtles, and blue tilapia. Each area has a pavilion for owners and rinse stations, though shade inside the dog areas is limited. The community vibe is warm, with regulars who keep a watchful eye on their pups.

What visitors say
Synthesized from 268 Google reviewsReviewers consistently praise the generous size of both the small- and large-dog sides, the clean upkeep, and the paved pond loop that turns a dog-park trip into a full outing. The rinse stations and nearby restrooms get repeated shout-outs as unusually convenient.
Sunday mornings pull a mellow mix of small-dog owners who know each other's pups, and the vibe is generally attentive and family-friendly. Parents with kids in tow are a regular sight.
Best for
Before you go
Come early on weekends (before 9am) to snag space before it fills up. The paved trail around the pond makes a good cool-down loop post-playtime; watch the ground around the pond bank for turtles.
